Leufolins A and B, Potent Butyrylcholinesterase-inhibiting Flavonoid Glucosides from Leucas urticifoliaDOI: 10.3390/12071447 Keywords: Leucas urticifolia, Lamiaceae, Leufolin A, Leufolin B, Butyrylcholinesterase, Leucas urticifolia, Lamiaceae, Leufolin A, Leufolin B, Butyrylcholinesterase, Inhibitory activity Abstract: New flavonoidal glucosides leufolins A (1) and B (2), have been isolated from the ethyl acetate soluble fraction of the whole plants of Leucas urticifolia. Their structures were elucidated on the basis of extensive analysis of nuclear magnetic resonance (1D and 2D NMR) spectral data. Both of these compounds exhiited significant inhibitory potential against the enzyme butyrylcholinesterase.
